MSU at UNI (Past Game)

[BearChief]

Rank was fouled by at least 12 Bears on the play, still made the layup. Great play.

Oh you mean after he walked. Three times.

Rank=clutch


Patterson had a great game. I wish UNI had an inside player like that.

Rank was in the lane from 9 sec till 2 sec. This is not payback, you were not cheated out of a game last year you lost. The valley will issue a statement by Monday guaranteed.

Man up and quite crying. You had the lead the entire night and couldn't hold it....


Also noticed Lusk didn't shake hands after the game, unless I mused it

He went straight to Jacobson and shook hands. Also, what does MSU having the lead have to do with the rules?

Excellent college basketball game that should not have been decided the way it was. But Bears let it get to that so in that regard they can only blame themselves. But that was chickenshit officiating on that last sequence and should get a league reprimand.

[Aargh]

If Weems doesn't charge with 22 seconds left, no one is discussing whether Rank walked. I guess it's easier to blame the officials than to blame the player who put the officials in a position to have to make (or not make) a call.

The Valley make a statement? Are you kidding? The last time the Valley made a statement about officiating was after a game in St. Louis a few years ago. Booker Woodfox fumbled an inbounds pass with 1.9 seconds on the clock. He picked up the ball, dribbled twice, turned around and still got the shot off before time expired. The Valley made a statement supporting the officials and timekeeper. Two years later, Elgin told Marshall (off the record) that a mistake had been made.

Much needed win for UNI, huge play by Rank,

If by huge, you mean huge walk, then you are correct.

You get the W, and that's all that matters. MSU had many chances to put it away, but I simply cannot believe they didn't call either travel.

Great win for UNI. A loss would have dropped us into a tie for 9th. A win moves us into a tie for 4th (assuming ISUred loses against CU tonight) and only one game behind MSU in 3rd.

Oh, and the last play was a completely blown call. Rank was hacked about 4 times, yet no whistle was blown.

Side note: Lusk is a classy guy. His demeanor is lighters better than Martin.

Funny you want to lecture us about blaming officials about a game just finished, while you're still crying about a 3 year old game. That said I already said we can blame ourselves twice previously, but a bad call is a bad call. We'll be fine, that was a road game that could have given us a huge leg up with 3 early road wins against 3 teams all picked in the upper division preseason. But it didn't happen so now we just nee dto prepare for a two game home stand. Great game, bad last call.

I missed the hand shake then. I was actually very impressed with how he coached the game, he was a mix between Jake and Cuanzo, but more on Jakes side of it in terms of class.....


As for the travel, I'll admit Rank or Jake traveled when you admit either/both were fouled on that play.

[CaseyGarrisonforPrez]

An absolute travesty in terms of officiating. Absolutley horrendous. The Bears were probably the better team, but hard to overcome a missed three second call which was more likely a 12 second violation, a couple missed obvious travels, and an official not granting a timeout. And all in the last ten seconds of a well played classical Valley ballgame. Those three need to be suspended. If I was Lusk I would probably be in a Cedarloo jail right now.

It's a darn shame that nobody will be discussing another classic MSU/UNI game instead all the talk is about officiating. Fix it Elgin and bring some accountability to the stooges with whistles.
